Projects that could be suitable for the book could be:
* The Programmable LED
** http://tinkerlog.com/howto/programmable-led/
** very low component count and easy circuit. Only slightly more
complex than a "hello world"-example.
** shows how to read a light sensor
** but was already featured in "The best of instructables"

* The Synchronizing Fireflies
** http://tinkerlog.com/howto/synchronizing-firefly-how-to/
** nearly the same circuit as the Programmable LED
** really fun to watch if you have a couple of them
** teaches something about self organizing systems
** but is somehow near the Trippy RGB Light, one light sensor and RGB
LED output.

* 64pixels
** http://tinkerlog.com/howto/64pixels/
** low component count
** teaches on timer interrupt and controlling an LED matrix
** but does not use resistors to limit the current and thus may not be
suitable for beginners.

===== Jeff's Notes =====
Alex will be at HAR.

The [[avrbook:projects:fireflies|Synchronizing Fireflies]] is a candidate for the book.
